Risk is primarily from local stormwater drainage and sheet flow during heavy rainfall events rather than riverine flooding.
Planning Controls
- •SA Planning and Design Code (PDC) flood and stormwater management provisions
- •Local council development plan requirements for stormwater drainage and retention
- •Potential Department for Environment and Water (DEW) referral for water resources in sensitive areas
- •Consideration of sheet flow and local drainage patterns in low-lying terrain
